Pablo Birger

Pablo Birger, Argentinian race car driver (d. 1966)
Pablo Birger (7 January 1924 – 9 March 1966) was an Argentine racing driver who raced in two World Championship Grands Prix for the Gordini team. He raced a Gordini Type 15 in the 1953 Argentine Grand Prix but the car lasted just twenty-one laps. Two years later he again rented a seat with Gordini, this time racing a Type 16, but spun on the first lap and collided with Carlos Menditeguy.

Birger, who was born in Buenos Aires, died in a road accident in his native city at the age of 42.
